The Science of Mindfulness

It is often assumed that mindfulness is in a realm of alternative or new age therapy, however this could not be further from the truth. Mindfulness is an ancient practice that has evolved into what we know today.

Clinical and scientific studies have been conducted to better understand the true benefits of incorporating mindfulness into your life.
